Ningxia Government Blocks Documentary Producers

The foreign affairs office in Ningxia blocked a documentary producer from researching locations for a project on climate change, even though the producer had earlier obtained permission to film in the area.

The documentary crew was met in Yinchuan, Ningxia on arrival at the airport and ordered to return to Beijing, by authorities “who said we were no longer allowed to film in Ningxia,” according to a member of the team.
